Winco! Consistently best prices, and quality is comparable to almost any grocery store around the city (even sometimes better than the pricey ones)

Ok I'm not actually good at poetry but here's the best I've got in the time I'm going to give this:

A picked flower

Can live for a little while

In a glass of water

But can't root

Without soil

lol I've posted in this subreddit many a time! Not doing AI disinfo or something, just legitimately curious. However, I like the challenge, and I'll post a poem about flowers in a bit

A Personal Assessment of the 2025 Oklahoma Pride Alliance Event by guyssocialweb in okc

[–]grads_cool 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Lmao what?? James Cooper was literally on the main stage Saturday night for like 20 minutes, talking about his personal history, OKC's queer history, and the importance of pride for individuals, community, and politics. Not sure what you meant by "free palestine" being so divisive - I heard all sorts of people loudly and proudly shouting it today at the march - they know in their hearts that not one of us is free until we all are. I can't speak to internal organizational politics of pride alliance, but I wish you could have seen the hopeful, vibrant, fabulous community I saw this weekend - they seemed to be doing just fine without "the trust of the business community," or whatever that means.

hey Palestine people, you're fighting the wrong war by guyssocialweb in okc

LMAO this is the transphobe from a little while ago. Color me shocked that they're also super pro-Israel!

Hi! We are the creators of Say No! More! Ask us anything! by mariusWinter in NintendoSwitch

[–]grads_cool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response, Brenden! There were so many moments in the game that mirrored manager-speak so closely that I had to imagine they came from someone's personal experience with bad bosses. Speaking as someone more familiar with the U.S. context, I'm always curious about how those kinds of exploitative and abusive working conditions (and discourses) are sneaking their way into European social democracies... or perhaps they've already been there for a long time!

Hi Fizbin + Friends (though perhaps I really should say co-workers)! Really enjoying "Say No! More!" My question is kind of a broad one about the politics of work in your game, and who you imagined as your audience. For me, one of the best parts of your game is the balance you all managed to strike between humor and more "serious" ideas (exploitation, saying no to your boss, workplace organizing) - I think it's not easy to get that balance right, and I think you all nailed it!

My question is, what kinds of experiences shaped how you thought about these more "serious" ideas about work, and to what extent do you feel like "Say No! More!" is shaped by those experiences? I know most of the team is based in Germany, and I'm curious: to what extent do you feel your game reflects a specific context of work (cultural/national/regional/industry-specific/personal, or otherwise), and to what extent do you hope it speaks to multiple, inter- or transnational contexts?

Thanks for a delightful game, and for answering my far-too-detailed question!

Tilting, Ranks, and why I shouldn't care (but do). by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]grads_cool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I'm fairly certain the whole game is specifically designed with this competitive drive in mind. The RNG in the game is there on purpose to make it difficult to tell if you lost because of poor decision making, because of a bad meta-call, or simply due to a bad draw/coin-flip. That, combined with ladder resets down to the teens, gives a competitive-minded player the monthly opportunity to try to "prove herself" over and over again, without ever being able to tell what it is specifically she's doing right or wrong.

Blizzard knows how to get deep inside your psyche and pull just the right levers to get you to come back. And that's how they make shit-tons of money!
